If this is racial, which seems very possible, it is hurting every child.



Why is it possible? What evidence is there of it being racial?

Racism is taught.

These kind of things are what keeps it alive.


Indeed. Teaching your children that a picture of noose, without context, is racist certainly perpetuates racism.

Either situation is possible.

Judging by taking happy, smiling pictures with a noose and displaying it in a sort of haphazard way I assume they find humor in it.

If this was something related to a lesson about the history of hanging in our country I would expect it to be treated in a more serious way.

This definitely isn't a teaching situation and it leads me to believe that they are making light of either hanging as a whole or of how nooses are sometimes branded as racist in today's culture.

I don't know which they were doing but either is very possible.

Both of those possibilities show very poor judgement and then passing the photos around make me question their position teaching children.
